of 1940, ranking second to California, with 42.1%. The state of
Washington was third in growth.
Population trend, by the terms of this federal estimate, traces an
era of expansion, particularly residential, for the east end of the
valley This growth, in turn, will reflect an increasing prosperity and
business development, in meeting new demands for various goods
and services.. But there is a sterner side to the picture.
